Winston Jarrett

Greetings everyone i just was wondering what some good winston jarrett songs are, i make a mixed cd every year to share with friends of all the artists that will be at the show once the line up is done and just wondered what you thought were some of his good songs. thanks in advance blessings cali massive

total killer... even though Roy Cousins is fairly criticized for re-re-recycling a short number of riddims (quality, mostly Radics business that they are), this one is a gem. early 80s style, out on a couple compilations.

the biggest portion of his body of work (over 100 known singles and a few LPs) come from early work at Studio 1, and/or with the Righteous Flames. but because those works are pretty hard to come by, a nice place to get a taste would be the recently-released Studio 1 set called "Crucial Times".

but you're right to get ahead of the curve on this one -- last time he was @ SNWMF, the biggest fans in the crowd were original veterans like Tony Chin and Norman and Ralston Grant, each of which were licking shots and pleading for forwards... and x-amount of both.
